Police: Homicide victim shot through window

A man Columbus police say was murdered early Monday was in his bedroom when bullets shot through his window and into his body.

The wounds, which hit 20-year-old David Coleman in his stomach, chest and forearm, prompted him to stagger into his niece's bedroom that she and another man were in around 2:10 a.m. They called police, who arrived at 730 Lawyers Lane Apt. 5 shortly afterward. An hour later, Coleman was pronounced dead.

"Right at this point, we don't have a motive," said Columbus Police Lt. Charles Kennedy. "The person that shot him shot him through a window."

The lieutenant added that no one entered the apartment, ruling out robbery as a motive.

Kennedy and others were called onto the case Monday and remained working on it into the night. No suspects or arrests have yet occurred.
